Getting a kitten soon. DH doesn't care for cats or their names, four stupid suggestions from DC's. AIBU to think that Play-Doh, Meatballs, Tootsie and Muppet are all truly dire names for a cat that I will have to call -loudly - (not them).

AIBU? If I'm not can cat owners give me some genuine non-twatty suggestions for the new kitten?

TIA.

Our next cat is going to be called Lenny.

Best cat names I ever heard are Steven and Bruno.

On my thread list the one just above this one is entitled 'Budgie Smugglers".

Is it just me or a Budgie Smuggler an awesome name for a cat?

Sunbeam18 · 22/05/2017 19:11

My cat is ginger and is Ziggy after Ziggy Stardust

whippetwoman · 22/05/2017 19:15

Growing up we had cats called:
Tiggs
Phoebe
Blanche (white)
Hercules
Bertie
Oscar

We currently have Oliver and Chester but I would love to have a female cat called Linda and another boy called Rigby. DC2 is obsessed by getting a sausage dog and calling it Mark Confused

Suggestions:
Dolores
Gloria
Evadne
Evangeline
Artemisia

MIL had a pair of cats called Wayne and Gary, which I loved.

Doobigetta · 22/05/2017 19:23

Call him Rupert.

SuckingEggs · 22/05/2017 19:24

And: Belinda or Barbara
Or: Lionel or Trevor

Ours is call Schrodinger. The vets receptionist sighed when we gave her name.

WeeWillyWinkieFromEccles · 22/05/2017 19:34

I have a ginger floof called Harley and a black floof called Mollie. I love Daphne for a girl kitty.

jmh740 · 22/05/2017 20:17

I adopted a cat from the rspca she was named dolly but we weren't keen she was 10months old so wanted to change it to something similar so she wouldn't get confused. She's now called molly which I later found out is the most popular female cat name. My other furball is called hamish

LadyLannister · 22/05/2017 20:19

Our cat is called Atticus. It suits him, he acts like a grumpy old man.

tabbymog · 22/05/2017 20:26

I like Baxter and Miss Kubelik, from the movie, The Apartment. The blog site My Cats are Democrats have two 'correspondents' with those names.

We have a Peeper and a Maude.

LivMoore · 22/05/2017 21:03

We have two boys; Kit Hairington (black and white tuxedo cat) and Leo Di Catprio (all black with a white smudge on his chest). We use just their first names at the vets Blush
How about Eliot as an homage to T S Eliot who wrote the original Cats as adapted by Lloyd Webber? T S Eliot was a big fan of cats.

smileymam · 22/05/2017 21:03

We have Mylo, he was already named when we adopted him. I would have gone for
Trevor
Norman
Bilbo baggins
Stanley
He is absolutely adorable

Lozzie12 · 22/05/2017 22:11

We have two Scooby and Jabba (the cat), I'm sure you can guess my DS's favourite shows when we got each one!

Dr. DoomPaw.

MadameJosephine · 22/05/2017 22:41

I really wanted to call mine Claudia but she already had a name (Cleo) when we adopted her and I was outvoted when I suggested changing it
